No, I will not, because I live near Sacramento, CA, at a latitude of 37 degrees north.
Only locations with latitudes less than 23.5 degrees will have the Sun DIRECTLY overhead at any point during the year. The only places within the United States that will see this are in the Hawaiian Islands.
Places located north of the Tropic of Cancer never see the sun directly overhead twice a year because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, which is approximately 23.5 degrees. This axial tilt causes the sun to be positioned directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer during the summer solstice and at the Tropic of Capricorn during the winter solstice. Areas north of the Tropic of Cancer remain outside this range and therefore experience the sun at an angle rather than directly overhead throughout the year.
Yes, a person living at the equator will see the Sun directly overhead at noon on two specific days of the year during the equinoxes (around March 21 and September 23). This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's axial tilt and the Sun's position relative to the equator.
No, a person living in New York State cannot see the sun directly overhead at 90 degrees. This is because New York is located at a latitude of about 40.7 degrees North, and the sun is only directly overhead at the equator (0 degrees latitude) during the equinoxes. The sun can be at its highest point in the sky during summer, but it will still be at an angle rather than directly overhead.
We see this because seasons change.
Yes. Most places in the Hawaiian Islands will experience the noon Sun "straight overhead" twice each year. In fact, the phrase "Lahaina Noon" is sometimes used in the Islands to refer to those days on which the Sun reaches the zenith.
Ahmedabad, located near the Tropic of Cancer, experiences the sun directly overhead at noon twice a year, during the equinoxes. This occurrence typically happens around March 21 and September 23, when the sun's rays are perpendicular to the Earth's surface at this latitude. During these times, shadows will be minimal, and the sun will be at its highest point in the sky.
September 21 is the autumnal equinox, where the sun is directly overhead at the equator. Places along the equator, such as Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia, are most likely to experience the sun directly overhead on this date.
At the south pole.
That would be true of latitudes in the range of roughly 23.5° to 29° both north and south.
Directly overhead during daylight; The sun is illuminating the far side, so the near side is not visible from our fair planet. h
The tropics are located on parts of the earth where the sun shines directly overhead at least once every year. See related links below for more details.
In Bhopal, which is located at a latitude of approximately 23.2° N, the overhead sun can be seen at noon around the equinoxes (March and September) when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer. In contrast, Lucknow, situated at a latitude of about 26.9° N, is too far north to experience the overhead sun at any time of the year. The sun's zenith position does not reach latitudes above 23.5° N, meaning it will never be directly overhead in Lucknow.
